Does anyone know which of the three terminals is the ground? If both filaments light up have I got the headlight socket wired wrong?

If you hold up the bulb, with the terminals facing you the middle terminal is UP then the one on the left is ground. That top terminal is Lo beam, one on right is Hi. This is from my Triumph factory manual, should be correct. But if both filaments light up then you are getting power to both terminals, and since that plug only goes on one way it would seem you have a wiring or a switch problem. If you rewired the bike, then maybe a wiring issue. If not, then I would suspect the hi/lo beam switch is shorting them together, or you have wires that have rubbed together somewhere so hi and lo both get 12V no matter what switch does.

If both lights up, u have it wired wrong. At that point, the remaining pin on the bulb is the ground pin. I suggest u get a multimeter to determine which wire is hi/low beams power and ground.

green is ground / yellow is tail or dim/brown is brake or bright \. hope this will help you. I just wanted bright tail lights so wired the green to ground and the brown to hot. they work great.

A cover is glue on top of the lights. Sometimes it is not glue on straight. You must connect the white wire to the neutral terminal.

Sorry, I can't be definate. But, the ballast interchanged perfectly, just remove and attach the old wire terminations. A wiring diagram is on the cover of the ballast. The bulb sockets themselves are unchanged.

Green is ground. and depending on if you are going to have running light you will use all 3 wires. If your just going to have turn signals connect the back & white at diffrent time to see which is brighter. That will be your turn signal only light.

From description: For the wire line, black-- main line, yellow-- turn light, white-- reversing light, green--tail light, red--brake light. You only have 4 wires on these LED's or your existing vehicle/trailer wiring? If you're missing wiring on these LED's I'd suggest contacting the Manufacturer. I'll assume you're installing these lights on a vehicle/trailer with the wiring described in your question. 2 wires for turn should be for left and right. One to each of the LED's yellow wires (your existing wiring may vary but typically from vehicle yellow=left, green=right). Same goes for "2for backup" (1 wire to L/R side of the new lights white wire). You should test voltage on your existing wiring to determine which of the "2for brake" wires is tail (lower voltage) and brake (higher voltage to be visible when taillights are on) or add an inline resistor to your existing taillight wire to reduce the taillight signal (green) so the brake light will be visible when both are on. Im not 100% on this but you may be able to simply wire the LED's brake and tail wires together (green/red) if your source varies output voltage via a brake switch or similar. Black-main line I believe is ground connection. Also check that your flashers work correctly (if applicable) as LED's draw very little load and often do odd things to flasher relays. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Nope that's the norm for these lights! check the fuse by the plug first, go to radioshack for new fuses. i had 2 of these lights that pop'ed and sparks came out I contacted the company, they sent me 2 new light heads opened the box 1 st one worked the 2nd one was dead on arrival it never ends with these! Lol so far I have 2 out of three that haven't given me issues in the last 2-3 months

There are left and right taillights as described in the description of left/Drivers side, right /Curbside, but that does NOT sound like the issue you are having.. make sure of your wiring both on the trailer to the lights, and the connector at the car. Brown for running lights, Green to the right side brake, yellow to the left side brake, and white to ground....

You have 5 wires to the harness....white is the grounding wire.....green with black stripe and brown go to one tail light and yellow and green goes to the other tail light. I can't recall what colors go to the left or right tail light.....just hand twist the wires together ....plug the harness in and touch the ground wire to metal....then turn your turn signal on to make sure it's wired right....it pretty simple.....good luck!

Hi, sorry you're having a problem but I'm a customer, not the dealer. The light I purchased is working fine. Maybe somewhere during the shipping process the light was dropped. The bulbs in them are very sensitive to impact. I use replacement bulbs from Lowe's whereas buying from an electronics store tends to be pricey. Good Luck

Sounds like a loose wire. I did have another brand of led side marker light that did that. After I tried everything I reversed polarity and it worked. Just a though if you haven't found the cause.

Same thing happened to me and I had the harness cables reversed. So I would flip flop the harness cables that plug-in into your existing lights.

I tested each of mine before I installed the to verify which wire was common and ,brake , tail/light ,backup because of what you mentioned . (no instructions)I also verified existing wiring colors for their function and connected the new lights and had no issues. they work great and are a lot brighter than the originals.

What are you putting your light on? With mine I tied straight into the existing wire harness for my atv headlights. If I were gonna run a new wire and a switch I would run 12 gauge wire.

The LED Light should have three wires, white=common/ground/frame, the black, & red or the tail light & brake/turn signal. the black & red could be reversed.I mounted the light to the frame & connected the white/ground wire under the screw. Then I only had two wires to connect to the trailer wiring.Trailer wiring varies, some have green & yellow for turn/brake lights & brown or black for tail/running lights, white is common/ground. Hope this helps.

I suggest you first check your connections. The ones that came with my LED lights were of poor quality and did not make connection thru the cable insulation. The other obvious thing is have the car running. Good luck

I see lots of opinions here and mine will be no different. I have an '05 FXDX Dyna. I pulled the tail light and spliced into the wiring to allow them to always be on (I tested to ensure I had the right wires for the desired effect). I recall black, brown and purple wires.
